SPRINGFIELD TWP., Mich. - One person is dead after multiple vehicles collided on I-75 in northern Oakland County early Friday morning.
A preliminary investigation found that the crash happened due to a backup on the highway from a separate crash.
State troopers traveled to Rattalee Lake Road in Springfield Township where a backup on the highway had created a second incident after a large box truck traveling slowly with its hazards on collided with a passenger vehicle stopped on the road.
The driver told police she noticed the truck had its hazard lights on but did not stop. A short time later, the driver of the large box truck rear-ended the car. Neither the driver of the small car nor the driver in the large truck was injured.
